The Gods are favouring us this week, Android fans, as a lot of hit iOS titles are making the difficult trek over to Android in time for Christmas. Still no news of an Oceanhorn port, though - for shame!
We've got a bit handsy with a few of these titles in the past, so you'll most likely be hearing the well-toned voices and reasoned critical opinions of the AppSpy team instead of some trailer acting all official-like.
1. Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft
Hearthstone has bossed the App Store in terms of card-based battling, though it has got a serious competitor in Magic: The Gathering. Shame we've had to wait so long - around eight months in fact - but better l…

After we reported that Hearthstone's Curse of Naxxramas update was out in the wilds of the App Store, I raced off to start playing it and bring you a look at some of the content in this expansion.
It's safe to say that it's easily comparable to the high quality of the main game, but there are some extras included that Hearthstone players will want to seriously think about investing in for online play.
I run through them briefly in my hands-on video below, as well as showing you a match in motion.…

If you've been slinging cards in Hearthstone for a while now then you might well be looking for more adventures to embark upon.
The new Curse of Naxxramas update should be just what you're after if that's the case, as it adds five new Wings to the single player campaign of Hearthstone.
The first of these Wings is titled The Arachnid Quarter, and will be free for a limited time during launch. After that it will join the rest of the Wings as a piece of paid content, unlockable with real money or Gold. Each Wing will set you back $6.99 / £4.99.
Curse of Naxxramas contains 15 new bosses to defeat, 30 new cards to acquire, and a Heroic Mode which, once beaten, unlocks a new card back f…

Hearthstone’s highly anticipated single player campaign add-on Curse of Naxxramas: A Hearthstone Adventure has a release date: July 22nd.
The new campaign has you journey through five unique wings of the ancient necropolis Naxxramas to defeat the archlich Kel’Thuzad.
Each area is ruled by a terrifying boss that must be defeated to progress. Whether you are battling the massive spider Maexxna or the overgrown fungus Loatheb, every monster has its own cards and powers to challenge your skills.
Each wing is planned to open a week at a time. The first Arachnid quarter will be downloadable for free next week, with later installments available in-app with real world cash…
